Training Your
Mustang

Training Mustangs can be a challenge even to a good trainer. Most
horse trainers today are not accustomed to training these
feral horses! Usually they only accept Mustangs that are
already halter broke for their training programs! And the trainers
that do accept them in for training, may only have experience with
"domesticated wild horses), and their IS a difference! It is
very important to train your Mustang in the right manner. If
you push them too hard you can cause them alot of confusion and
resentment. If you don’t push enough, they will dominate over
you and will acquire bad and disrespectful habits towards
people.

This is where we
come in!

With our many
years experience in training "domesticated wild horses" and
Wild Mustangs, we can offer your horse a great start! All of
our training methods have come from years of experience in "reading"
horses, and we'll show you the techniques that have brought out
success in your horse, so you can continue it at
home!

NOTE!

It is extremely
important for you and/or your handler to be
here the day your horse leaves so we can demonstrate your
horses' training experience with you, and assist you with the
handling of your horse,(particularly the Wild Mustangs,
and Re-habilitation projects).

Not showing up to learn about your horse
and how to handle it properlymay have a negative impact on
your results with your trained (or re-educated) horse once you are
back home without a clue how to get the same positive results
we did from your horse!

You will be responsible for all fees owed at
the end of training at the time of departure.We keep a
training journal and videos on all horses for future reference
if needed.

What is a Mustang?

A Mustang
is a small feral horse. The name Mustang comes from the Spanish word
mesteño or monstenco meaning wild or stray. Mustangs of the Western
US were originally Spanish horses but over the years they have
become a mix of numerous breeds from ranchers and others releasing
horse out to the wild.

The
Bureau of Land
Management
(BLM) controls the mustang population through a capture
program. Most horses that are captured are offered for "adoption" to
individuals willing to pay a small fee.

They are
herded into a trap by a helicopter with help of another trained
horse to lead them into the trap, loaded into a trailer and shipped
to the holding corrals where they are separated weaned, then brought
through the barn to be health checked, branded, tagged, and gelded.
Then they are ready to be adopted out. They also get
shipped to other holding facilities around the United States so
anyone can get a chance to adopt them.

Mustangs
are a prey animal and rely largely on there "Fight or Flight"
instincts. Their first response to a threat or pressure is to Flee,
they will also stand there ground and fight if they feel trapped,
or are protecting their young. They will use their defenses
such as charging, biting, striking, kicking, and running to protect
themselves and others from predators. They are creatures of
habit and have excellent memories, which makes consistent training
extremely important to them.

Mustangs
do not like to be separated from their herd, if alone they would be
exposed to predators from all sides, and would have a tough time
fighting them off. The less dominant horses tend to gravitate toward
the most mature and confident members for their protection. Included
in the herd ranks are the leaders, protectors and followers (a
pecking order). The lead mare is considered the “Boss Mare”. She
leads the herd from place to place, controls and moderates
aggressive behavior within the herd. The Stallion is the ruler of
his "harem" of mares. He must fight
off both predators and other males who attempt to establish
dominance over them.

They are
curious animals and may investigate any creature that is interesting
but not threatening. You can see this in visiting a herd in the wild
and/or holding corral. The curious ones will come up close enough
where they feel safe to view and investigate you and what you are
doing.

Mustangs
have many dispositions form good to very bad. Some are gentle,
smart, willing to learn, and others are very defensive,
aggressive, slow thinking.
